Welcome to IGN TV's What 2 Watch -- your guide to what's noteworthy on TV each night. You may notice we'll point out shows worth watching that air at the same time -- it's up to you to make a choice or fire up a DVR.

Hellboy: Blood and Iron -- 7:00pm ET/PT on The Cartoon Network. Professor Broom discovers that someone in New York is attempting to bring back the evil female vampire, Erzsebet Ondrusko, whom the professor destroyed 60 years ago. Erzsebet was known to bathe in the blood of innocents to retain her youth. Professor Broom calls upon three of the top B.P.R.D. agents, Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, to investigate. Before long, they find themselves face-to-face with a horde of ghosts, a phantom wolf pack, witches, harpies, a giant werewolf and Erzsebet herself.

Office Space -- 8:00pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. Unable to endure another day at Initech Corporation, Peter Gibbons decides to get fired. But the lazier he gets, the higher up in management he goes. Will he ever get out his job? Starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston.

Office Space, despite not being a very old movie, has quickly moved in the realm of classics within many communities, particularly anyone who does now or has ever worked in an office. While it exaggerates a lot of what it is like, most of the movie simply falls into the 'it's funny because it's true' category. Not to mention that red staplers owe their popularity to this movie. So if you haven't seen this movie, join everyone else and watch it tonight. Then you can join in the jokes you probably hear just about every day. Ummmmmm yeah.

Dateline NBC -- 8:00pm ET/PT on NBC. Correspondent John Larson investigates a mysterious killing on a trail in the Arizona wilderness.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: "Weeping Willow" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on NBC. This top notch repeat from November stars Buffy alum Michelle Trachtenberg. After popular video blogger Willow and her boyfriend Holden are seen kidnapped live on-line by two violent assailants, Detectives Logan and Wheeler are assigned to the high-profile case. With the help of a tech wizard, the Detectives question whether the kidnapping is staged or real. When a follow-up video blog shows Willow pleading to viewers to download videos which will raise the ransom money, Detective Wheeler takes a trip into cyberspace to face-off with the kidnappers.

48 Hours Mystery: "Jeffrey MacDonald: Time for Truth" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on CBS. A former green beret doctor imprisoned for more than 25 years claims he has new evidence proving he did not kill his family.

I'm one of those people who really think watching Rob and Amber is entertaining. Few couples are as interesting as the pair of them, or as perfectly matched for one another. So, I was rather sad to see them leave last week. And rather shocked, as the rest of the teams on the race are sure to be. All the teams are now evenly matched, with no real 'team to beat' at this point. I would like to see Myrna eliminated though. Does she not know how mean and annoying she is? Give Charla a new teammate please!

The Winner: "Glen's New Friend" -- 8:30pm ET/PT on FOX. When Josh befriends a cool kid at school, Glen feels abandoned and replaced after hes left out of the fun. Meanwhile, Glen runs into trouble when he goes on a trip with a customer from the video store who mistakenly thinks he's gay.

The Dresden Files: "Storm Front" -- 9:00pm ET/PT on The Sci-Fi Channel. Police are baffled by the deaths of a gangster and his girlfriend, and the investigation exposes black magic, a sexy vampire and a fire-breathing demon.

Cold Case: "A Dollar, A Dream" -- 9:00pm ET/PT on CBS. The plight of a homeless family living out of their station wagon becomes the cold case team's focus as they investigate the murder of a woman found at the bottom of a river.

Rome: "Deus Impeditio Esuritori Nullus (No God Can Stop a Hungry Man) " -- 9:00pm ET/PT on HBO. Rome is facing a dire shortage of grain, forcing Octavian to barter with Mark Antony to get new shipments from Egypt. But instead of agreeing to Octavian's price - money and territory - Mark Antony flatly turns him down, pointing towards an inevitable conflict between the two former allies and, perhaps, Vorenus and Pullo. As a last resort, Octavian sends Atia and Octavia to Alexandria, knowing their reception will most likely be a chilly one. At the Collegium, where Pullo is rationing out grain to increasingly restless Romans, Gaia saves her master from a caged animal's wrath, but can't save herself. After fleeing a deteriorating situation in Egypt, Posca gives Octavian the ammunition he needs to turn the people against Mark Antony, setting in motion the wheels of war.

Katey Sagal guest stars in the season finale of The Winner.

The Winner: "Hot for Teacher" -- 9:30pm ET/PT on FOX. Season Finale: When Glen poses as Josh's "dad" for a parent-teacher conference, he comes face-to-face with his old homeroom teacher, Miss Burko, who ends up giving him a private, albeit very belated, lesson in love.

The Apprentice: Los Angeles: "Episode 609" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on NBC. The candidates write and direct an internet soap opera webisode surrounding a popular cleaning product. One team deals with an on-set romance, while the other airs their dirty laundry. The winners get a private meeting with California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and hear about his road to success, while the losers get their bubble burst in the boardroom.

Without a Trace: "Connections" -- 10:00pm ET/PT on CBS. The team searches for a teenaged girl last seen being followed out of an internet cafe by a male teen who just passed her a lewd note.
